Posted:9th Jan 2005I thought i posted baout this in this forum, and then i came back and it was gone...? or maybe a moderator deleted it? i dont know why they would but if so let me know and ill stop posting about it, but here it goes, again

I saw something in a music video that looked really cool, the video was by the band rammstein, the song is called feuer frei. u see one of the guys playing a bass i thing put on a mask around 2:20 ish and he breathes a huuuuge flame around 2:32. Does anyone know what this mask is or where you can get one?

it looked to me like a modified gas mask for protection on the face, and then a cone

this is where the fire is sprayed from

the only way i can see this being possble, is that the mask has a fule supply to it, and a flame in it

thus like a flame thrower it fire out a long spray of fule on fire....

these will have ben sutom made for the band, you will be luck if you could afford one, let alone get one made!

the reason i think this is that fire breathing is VERY DANGEROUS, and esp wearing a mask, and playing in a hot room would cause you to swallow and drink the fuel in your mouth, so i think its custom job, and no you cant get them...

also i think if you wnated to perform in one of these mask, you would have to be very clever about the fuel line to the mask!

Posted:14th Jan 2005ok, i am now pretty positive this was custom made, this bands life is fire, the drummer has a crazy set of drum sticks that shoots sparks out of the end, it looks awesome, and yea they use flame throwers a lot

Posted:17th Jan 2005I saw them when they were in manchester, with American Head Charge supporting, when Rammstein weren't that big.

they had the fire masks, and the lead singer came on with a suit made of fire with flames coating his arms and the back of his shoulders

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Posted:8th Feb 2005I saw Rammstein live last Friday night. It has to be the best 2 hours of my life when they were on stage, they are my all time favourite band. Someone I know online was given a set list for the show and they list the effects used with each song. The fire masks and flame thrower type devices are described as "Lycopodium masks", "Lycopodium arms" etc. I presume this means by using Lycopodium powder it is safer as it can't be easily ignited when in a storage container, it is only readily flammible when it is finely divided, eg, blown into a fine mist through the mask. I am not sure if I am 100% correct on this, but it seems logical, as using gaseous or liquid fuel would require a large amount of pressure, and could quite easily be more dangerous.

Posted:27th Feb 2005kornflour.i am yet to try it. gona try to find a safe way to test it. but when the small particles separate, so theres dust, it set alite or explodes or something. I DONT KNOW. it also burns alot of air, so if it is lit indoors you will suffocate. thats bad.

basically, could work, not sure, find out on weekend, post results later.

ps. i do not recomend doing this.
